Carriers are launching major, on-device social game stores to compete directly with traditional app stores and regain their leadership role in mobile gaming. Carriers are reinventing how mobile games are distributed, discovered and monetized. Carriers are offering their users a deeply social gaming experience that focuses on the gamer, their friends, game recommendations, and the popular games their friends are playing. This is a "holy grail" for game developers: a massive new distribution channel, direct-carrier billing with high conversion rates, social-powered game discovery and a global gaming community.
